A Happy Day . . .

 we call ourselves the
PEDS GALS
we worked together at the hospital in pediatrics
we have been celebrating together for almost thirty years
Bettie
was and is our mentor
 the head, chief nurse
boss gal
authentic as they come
we think of her as "mom"

and she will be celebrating her
90th birthday very soon


we surprised her last evening with
 an early birthday party
she was indeed surprised
dinner out
dessert back at the home of one of the gals
flowers and cake memories, gifts, tears, smiles
it was a very good time   
 

  
 
 
 
  
Happy Birthday Bettie
We Love You
Mary, Terri, Char, Carolyn, Lynne
~
until next time,
Love, Lynne

Lovely photos, Lynne. I can't believe Betti is 90 years old. I hope to look that good at 75. . .that is if I make it to that age. LOL

Looks like the rest of you girls made it a wonderful celebration in her honor.
Lucky you to have forged a deep and lasting friendship with such great women.
It's a rare treasure.

This was just SO nice. How wonderful to have a closeness with those your work with.
I loved working Peds. My floor was Surgery, but when I got to go up to Peds I just loved it. I only stayed for six years but now I wish I had stayed and retired.
Too many young ones at home and I was needed there. No one was minding the store, if you know what I mean.
I loved my job. I really did.
Have a great weekend!
I loved seeing that picture of you.. :) I always get a kick out of seeing photo's of my blogger friends..and I seldom get to see them. It was a treat to see you.
HUGE hug..

What a wonderful surprise for Betty and she looks marvelous for 90! I just organised a mini reunion for my nurses and it is 53 years since we started, in fact I am staring to plan for out 55th "big" reunion and we are going away for 2 nights. We had a wonderful 50th reunion 2 years ago and had 17 nurses present and 3 we visited on Skype. Nowadays we usually have 3 mini reunions a year! Have a wonderful weekend.
